Itinerary description
"Beauty of Nothingness" this is how I discribe this place.
Famous as the last refuge for the Indian Wild Ass, Little Rann of Kutch is a large salt marsh situated in Gujarat. The Little Rann of Kutch is a birding paradise and a Ramsar Site too. Birding at the lakes and marshes is very rewarding. In winter, Demoiselle and Common Crane are seen in large numbers. Flamingos, pelicans, storks, ibises, spoonbill, a variety of ducks and other waterfowl are also seen. The Rann is also the hunting ground of raptors like the Short-toed Eagle, buzzards, Aquila eagles, six species of falcons and three species of harriers. It is one of the few places where hundreds of harriers could be seen roosting on open-ground at night. And of course, a perfect place to see the Indian Wild Ass. The main carnivores of the Little Rann of Kutch are the Indian Wolf, Desert Fox, Indian Fox, jackal, Desert and Jungle Cat and Stripped Hyena. The elegant Blackbuck, Nilgai or Blue Bull and Chinkara are other mammals seen here.
The Wild Ass Sanctuary in the Little Rann of Kutch has also featured in the documentaries of BBC, National Geographic for its variety of wildlife. lakes in the surrounding villages are bird-rich.
Trail ends at Forest rest house situated near a seasonal pond whic hattracts various birds and wildlife, Stripped Hyena's call which sounds like some one is laughing can be heard in the night.
During the full moon night one can expereice the vastness of this white deserts.
